    A few days ago I finished a scrap quilt and posted a pic. Not many people see my quilts so I enjoy posting the pictures. Sat morning I had an e-mail from a friend who shall be anonymous (I am afraid she might be embarrassed). She told me I had a block turned the wrong way and she didn't know whether to tell me or not because she didn't want to hurt my feelings. Well, she most certainly did not. I get so ticked off at myself when I complete a quilt and THEN see a real goof. It seems that is all I can see when I look at the quilt, so I really, really, appreciated her letting me know. Below is another picture of the quilt with the block corrected. You may not have noticed the error but I am glad I got it fixed.

    It's is beautiful!! I can painsteakingly label every piece and block and STILL sew something wrong and not see it until I look at the pic I take.

    We all do it, get it wrong! At least your friend was nice enough to tell you and it sounds as if she was gentle.

    I always love the fact that the Navaho Indians always leave a knot in their rugs to show that they were not perfect and not vying with the Gods.

    It would be a good idea to post a picture of a top before it is quilted and ask if anyone sees Waldo. lol I sent a PM to a gal on this board because I thought she had accidentally turned a block the wrong way. I think I offended her. Me, I would want to know. I did see my upside down white on white in my avatar and chose not to change it. :)

    You have a great friend. I hope someone would tell me if I had a mistake. And your quilt is lovely. You will not be under arrest by the quilt police for a little mistake. Great QB Friends here.

    Who ever you are you are a great friend. You are welcome to be my friend too!:) :)

    Honesty is best. That would be like not telling somebody they have something on their face.

    Very pretty now, don't remember seeing one out of place. So far I notice all possible goof ups before I sandwich them, I sure hope that stays the case.
